can't boot into recovery (clockwork)

so i flashed the new clockwork with rom manager. i downloaded a new rom and that was the last time the recovery worked. after i set everything up on the new rom (ud froyo), i went back to rom manager to install a kernel, it was from the last name in the list in rom manager...it wasn't a regular name, it was like sdfjh or something. i downloaded the kernel, rebooted to recovery, and it stays stuck at the m logo.

after spending about 20 mins looking at a program called rsdlite to flash sprecovery so i could flash a new rom, the phone finally booted before i was about to flash it. at this point i figure it was that weird kernel that i installed, so i went back to rom manager, reboot into recovery so that i could install a p3 kernel, once again i'm stuck at the m logo

i have, or had, the newest clockwork recovery which is 2. something, and i flashed it about 4 times before i rebooted but im still stuck even after pulling the battery for a couple minutes and holding the x key when i boot it back up

Yeah, the last several clockwork updates have been broken. Go back to 1.8.1.4 (at the bottom of the page on Rom Manager). Flash it twice to be sure and you should be OK. The last update doesn't work for me either.

If this doesn't work, flash SPRecovery, boot into recovery, then reboot and flash the older clockwork version again. I've had to do this once. Should work.

the problem is that i can't do anything with any recovery, whenever i get the phone back up i'll flash the older clockwork, but i'll give this another 15 mins or so, and a couple battery pulls before i try to do the rsd lite...although i'm still not 100% sure on how to use..so far i have rsd lite and an sprecovery sbf..now i'm guessing i go into boot mode, then flash with the rsd lite using the sprecovery??
